What is AEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about whether AI assistants can reach, understand, and cite your content when people ask questions.

In Silktide, related surfaces include:

• AEO readiness (crawler access, publishing pace, structure) - measured by Presence's Content channel and per-page AEO reports
• Presence (AI visibility) - whether assistants mention, describe, and cite you
• AI-referred traffic in Analytics where available

Readiness is the cause; mentions and citations are the effect; AI traffic is the payoff.
